WW does west coast deliveries too (in addition to NYK) so you can try tracking the VIN, though mine didn't show up until it'd been at sea for several days already. Also, once your car ships, your CA can tell you what boat it's on.

My CA takes awhile to get back to me usually so I was trying to do it on my own. I don't believe you can enter your VIN on NYK's site like on WW unfortunately. So I guess I will have to wait for my CA to get back to me with the ship name.

You will want to enter "Port Hueneme" when you go to this webpage for the destination. By calling the 1-800 number you can determine when its at Bremerhaven ("waiting for shipping vessel" status) and you will likely get on the next 1-2 ships leaving for the west coast, at which time your status will change to "en route/in transit". Then kick back until it hits the Panama Canal in 3 weeks.

Hopefully you will get a WW ship and not NYK which are difficult to track. You can ultimately confirm your ship through your CA.

Very helpful post. I can now see the potential options. I am not sure how long I will have to wait, since I dropped off in Paris (11-29). I am assuming its easier to get on a ship in Bremerhaven if you drop off in Munich. I'm hoping the system is just delayed and that I am on the mid-dec shipment, but since the (562) number that Harms gave me had no record of me or my VIN.. it is probably unlikely.
